Don't feel bad. Most places aren't hiring externally anymore. Its just a formality to make some people happy like "look at us we're hiring" then they just hire an internal candidate or don't fill the opening at all. Ive applied to countless positions over the last year both federal/private where I posses more than the MAXIMUM job requirements and get a rejection e-mail crapped back to me in week or month indicating I didn't meet the necessary minimum requirements when I have been doing the EXACT responsibilities they are requiring over the last 5 years. .. Yea....
No. Are you an attractive female? Attractive females are often highly privileged. Your looks must've fallen off somewhere between then and now.
I’m a male. Agreed attractive people are highly privileged even though that should have NOTHING to do with anything outside of adult films, Hollywood, modeling etc.
If you’re hiring strictly off attractiveness and not the most qualified for the opening your basically screwing the company over, not qualified to be in a position of hiring, potentially doing long term damage to the company for **** poor hiring practices and should be fired if you’re overlooking those most qualified.
If you’re just looking for a potential squeeze, there are plenty of bars to take your needs to. In business it should be about qualifications or having the foundation and willingness to learn and work hard

define "qualified" because you somehow think waving as piece of paper that says degree "qualifies" you... a degree is a requirement for some jobs, however it is not a "qualification" for the job
Is there a reason why you could not qualify for financial aid? If you are 22, have worked low paying jobs, and presumably have periods of unemployment lowering your annual earnings even more, you will likely qualify for grants (free money, no need to pay back) that will cover the cost of community college and help with housing.
I tried college a few years ago, and I lost my financial aid.
Well, sitting at home & posting on C-D is a sure way to achieve your goals, right?
Why do you presume OP does nothing else? It is reasonable to do a number of different things in a day, and if s/he takes 15 minutescto do this, I don’t see that as a problem.

That usually isn’t final. Talk to the office of financial aid about filing an appeal. Although different schools handle it in different ways, typically you need to show that you have taken steps to improve your chances of success. Then pay for a class or two out of pocket, get your grades, and they will eventually reinstate you.
I can't be. I'm not an overachiever. I don't have much to flaunt. I've done just enough to get by up until this point.

Here's the real fundamental question: Do you WANT to find a decent paying job and succeed? Because if you don't have the want and desire and motivation to go to college or learn a trade or try to achieve, then no one else can have it for you. How much do you really want it?

Try talking to a financial aid rep anyway. There might be something that they can do.
If you think you can succeed in college, it is worth it in the long run
